The Ghusl Room

Picture
MFS now has a new Ghusl facility adjacent to the Kuraby Mosque, which includes the Ghusl room, cold room, storeroom and hearse parking all under on roof.
Our office is still located within the Musjid.

This page will detail the essential requirements for a GHUSL room at any facility.

It will assist a regional centre to establish a Ghusl room in your town insha-Allah.

The GHUSL Room is usually a designated area at the local Islamic centre or mosque or if this is not available you may make arrangements with the local Funeral Director to use their facility. MFS is a member of QFDA and we would be happy to establish this relationship with one of our funeral director colleagues in the regional area on your organisation's behalf.

GHUSL Room Equipment and minimum suggested requirements:

  • A separate GHUSL room or a designated area.
  • Washing Table - usually stainless steel. These are available commercially or may be made to specification and it may be fixed or portable, with a water outlet which may be plumbed in or have a container to collect and dispose of the used water
  • Warm water supply
  • Bucket and jug
  • Disposable latex gloves - S,M,L,XL
  • Disposable Plastic aprons
  • Cotton wool
  • Cloth disposable wipes or towels to dry the deceased
  • Disposable Face Masks should be available
  • Soap (Liquid or bar)
  • Camphor
  • Scissors
  • Attar
  • Rubbish Bin
  • Hazardous waste disposable bins - this is specifically for contaminated waste, which must not be placed in regular bins 
  • The room must always be clean and adequately cleaned down after each use
  • Kaffan - this may be a roll of white calico or cotton fabric which may be cut as required or you may purchase ready cut and pre-packed kaffan

NB: if you are a regional Islamic centre, MFS will supply an initial set male and a female pre-packed kaffans free of charge. Kindly contact Dr Mohammed Iqbal Sultan or Yussuf Chothia.

You may then purchase further kaffans as required for $80 per set.

  •   The "Casket" or Janaza box:

The janaza box or casket (or cartel as referred to sometimes), is the box in which we transfer the deceased after the ghusl (washing and shrouding) to the mosque for the Janaza Salah and then to the cemetery. This container is usually re-usable and is used for all the funerals.

This may be a commercially available coffin with handles to lift and carry and transport the deceased OR as is the case in many communities is a custom made aluminium tray with handles and a cage like lid. This is covered with a cloth or velvet cover. The latter is used by MFS.
